"It's not required by the law,"

Actually, it IS required by law

More than that. I think they apply to all aspects of life.

Don’t go to stupid places.
Don’t associate with stupid people.
Don’t do stupid things.

And...disagreement over intent has nothing to do with the officer making an arrest.

Intentionally failing to conceal is a misdemeanor. Did the officer(s) have a warrant? If not, was the offense committed in his presence or within his view? If not, is this one of the misdemeanors for which a peace officer may arrest without warrant and without witnessing? I think the answer to those questions would help answer your question about malice.

I have been carrying for years with no problems. In many of the stories I read, something doesn't add up. Maybe the poster is withholding some details for personal reasons. That's their right but it does raise questions.

Are there bad cops? Yes. But I don't think me carrying legally materially increases my risk from those rotten apples. YMMV
